He took Miao Gu's words seriously now.
Who could be so blind as to cause trouble under these circumstances?
Miao Na?
He hoisted Miao Gu's Clay Jar onto his back.
Luo Bin slowly walked out of the house.
The shell-devouring gu had returned to Luo Bin without him noticing, settling between his eyebrows and neatly covering the purple-gold line.
Fourth Master Gray perched on Luo Bin's right shoulder, his nose twitching vigorously as he squeaked, as though he had discovered something.
Two gu worms flew out of Miao Gu's eyes and circled around him, buzzing.
"Shh..." Miao Gu signaled for Luo Bin to keep quiet.
Luo Bin held his breath and focused.
"Have you noticed?" Miao Gu whispered.
Noticed?
The houses around them were unchanged. Everything looked perfectly normal. What was there to notice?
But Luo Bin did not ask. He concentrated fully, scrutinizing his surroundings.
The chirping insects sounded pleasant.
The evening breeze was cool.
A few wisps of mist seemed to veil the full moon, giving it a hazy appearance.
At last, Luo Bin noticed something wrong.
The insects!
There were no chirping insects in Thousand Miao Village. All the insects here were gu worms. He only heard ordinary insects after leaving the village. Why could he hear them now?
"Walk in whichever direction you want," Miao Gu suddenly said again. "We're in great danger right now."
Luo Bin's heart lurched. He descended the steps and, without hesitation, headed straight toward Granny Li's courtyard.
Miao Gu's earlier words had carried another implication. He seemed to want to do something else, fulfill his own aspirations, and establish a different relationship with Luo Bin.
That meant Miao Gu probably intended to face this matter alone.
